SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

Supply chain optimization technology transforms supply chain planning. With it, you can identify the absolute best solution for the most complex supply planning challenge, across any time-frame, at any level of granularity, in the fastest way.

IT'S IN OUR DNA

Optimity was designed and developed at the precise point in time that technological advances propelled supply chain optimization from the theoretical possibility into reality. Unlike other tools using supply chain optimization, Optimity was architected from the ground up to leverage the full capabilities of the technology.

True Supply Chain Optimization

It’s all about being able to quickly identify the absolute best solution to any planning challenge, across any time frame, whilst factoring in all the interdependent constraints and complexities. It means not just being limited to rules-based decision-making (“if this, then that”) and the reliance on outmoded supply chain planning methodologies.

True supply chain optimization is ‘global’ – no section of business operates in isolation – and considers complex interdependence of constraints and business rules across the business. It will handle thousands of constraints, and prioritize decisions (which customers to serve, which products to focus on) from a whole-of-business perspective.

From a technical perspective, this requires crunching the numbers for many thousands of variables and constraints – relying on a whole range of sophisticated mathematical techniques. Whilst the theory to achieve this has existed for years, historically the computer technology just did not have the capacity, and imposed strict limitations on the size of the problem to be solved.

Optimity’s Profit-based Optimization

However, in recent times 64-bit architecture has dramatically increased the size of solvable supply chain planning problems. Authentic supply chain optimization draws from a myriad of optimization technologies to continuously process and factor in all the constraints and business rules, for any time frame, at any level of granularity and mix.
